What exactly is the difference between a public IP and a proxy IP?
Many people can't tell the relationship between public IP and proxy IP. Simply put, the public IP is like your house number, the Internet ID card assigned to you by your carrier. However, directly exposing this address is easy to be tracked, like hanging the house key at the door.
Proxy IPs are the equivalent of middlemen that send and receive network requests for you. For example, with ipipgo's proxy service, your real address is hidden. Especially for those who do data collection, it is much safer to use dynamic residential IPs to rotate access to websites than to use your own network directly.
How much trouble is it to get your own public IP?
Now the three major carriers basically do not give individuals to open the public IP, you have to use the enterprise qualification application. Even if you apply for it, the monthly fee for a fixed IP is at least 500, and you have to buy professional firewall equipment. What's more troublesome is that you have to maintain it on your own, and when you encounter DDoS attacks, you can crash the whole thing.
Last year, a cross-border e-commerce customer spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy a server to build a private proxy, but the result was that the IP segment was blocked by the target website, and the money was lost. Later on, he switched to ipipgo's dynamic residential package, paying by volume, not to mention that the IP pool is automatically updated every day, which saves him a lot of trouble.
Proxy IP Practical Deployment Manual
Take ipipgo as an example of a three-step process to use a professional proxy:
Step 1: API to extract IP (Python example)
import requests
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getip?key=你的密钥&count=5"
resp = requests.get(api_url)
ip_list = resp.json()['data']
Step 2: Configure the proxy (requests library usage)
proxy = {
'http': 'http://user:pass@45.152.xx.xx:8888',
'https': 'http://user:pass@45.152.xx.xx:8888'
}
resp = requests.get('target url', proxies=proxy)
Step 3: Automatic switching (change IP 5 times per request)
from itertools import cycle
proxy_pool = cycle(ip_list)
Be careful to choose the right type of agreement, doing business overseas is recommended to use theircross-border rail line, more than three times faster than the regular line.
Guide to avoiding the pitfalls of package selection
This is where a lot of newbies fall head over heels:
| Business Type | Recommended Packages | Money Saving Tips |
|---|---|---|
| crawler collection | Dynamic residential (standard) | Open IP rotation mode |
| Account Registration | Static homes | Binding device fingerprints |
| Direct Streaming | TK Line | Enable UDP protocol acceleration |
A client who does TikTok started with a regular dynamic package that always lagged, and switched to aTK LinePost-latency is reduced from 800ms to 120ms, which is the advantage of a professional line.
Frequently Asked Questions First Aid Kit
Q: What should I do if the proxy IP suddenly fails to connect?
A: Check the whitelist settings first, the IP segment of ipipgo needs to be released at the firewall in advance. If API returns empty data, it may be insufficient balance or concurrency overrun.
Q: How long can I use the 1GB of traffic in the dynamic package?
A: Look at the type of business, pure text collection can run 50,000 requests, if it is to download pictures and videos, it is recommended to upgrade to the enterprise version of the package, the traffic unit price is more cost-effective.
Q: What if I need to use different country IPs at the same time?
A: Just add country_code in the API parameter, such as &country=US,JP,DE, it supports up to 10 countries to mix. If you want to fix the country IP, remember to choose the static residential package.
Why ipipgo?
